Community Advisory Council

Putting our Community First

The H.O.M.E. Community Advisory Council is H.O.M.E.’s eyes and ears in the community.

At the end of 2020, H.O.M.E. launched a year-long inquiry focused on reaching out and listening to the seniors the agency has served through its community programs on the south and west sides of Chicago. Residents of H.O.M.E.’s Nathalie Salmon House have also organized. Inspired by the support for Black Lives protests, H.O.M.E. established a Community Advisory Council to intentionally include the seniors we serve through our housing and community programs in our leadership structure.

H.O.M.E. is recruiting for the Community Advisory Council. Applications can be submitted by completing the form at the bottom of this page, or by sending the paper application to our offices at 945 W. George St., Suite 218, Chicago, IL 60657. Please get in touch with Gail Schechter at (773) 295-2711 or GailS@HOMEseniors.org if you have any questions!

Thank you for your interest in the great work H.O.M.E. is doing in Chicago!

“Community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another.” — Henri J.M. Nouwen
